rbootseq - Persistently sets the order of boot devices for BladeCenter blades or PPC LPARs using Direct FSP Management (DFM).
rbootseq [-h|--help|-v|--version]
rbootseq noderange {hd0|hd1|hd2|hd3|net|iscsi|iscsicrit|cdrom|usbflash|floppy|none|list|stat},...
rbootseq noderange {hd|net1|net2|net3|net4|cdrom|usbflash|floppy|none},...
rbootseq noderange [hfi|net]
For Blade specific:
rbootseq sets the boot sequence (the order in which boot devices should be tried) for the specified blades. Up to four different medium/devices can be listed, separated by commas. The boot sequence will remain in effect for these blades until set differently.
For PPC (using Direct FSP Management) specific:
rbootseq sets the ethernet (net) or hfi device as the first boot device for the specified PPC LPARs. The rbootseq command requires that the ethernet or hfi mac address is stored in the mac table, and that the network information is correct in the networks table.
The first hard disk.
The second hard disk.
The third hard disk.
The fourth hard disk.
Boot over the ethernet network, using a PXE or BOOTP broadcast.
Boot over the first ethernet network, using a PXE or BOOTP broadcast.
Boot over the second ethernet network, using a PXE or BOOTP broadcast.
Boot over the third ethernet network, using a PXE or BOOTP broadcast.
Boot over the fourth ethernet network, using a PXE or BOOTP broadcast.
Boot p775 nodes over the HFI network, using BOOTP broadcast.
Boot to an iSCSI disk over the network.

The CD or DVD drive.
A USB flash drive.
The floppy drive.
If it gets to this part of the sequence, do not boot. Can not be specified 1st, or before any real boot devices.
Display the current boot sequence.
Set blades 14-56 and 70-203 to try to boot first from the CD drive, then the floppy drive, then the network, and finally from the 1st hard disk:
